In the small hillside town of Nedroma near the Moroccan border stands a mosque founded during the Almoravid period, one of the oldest continuously used in Algeria. Its restrained prayer hall of horseshoe arches and a later minaret reflect centuries of quiet devotion in a settlement long known for Andalusian craft traditions. The town's tangle of narrow lanes and covered passages surrounds the mosque, preserving a medieval street pattern and an authentic picture of small-town religious heritage.
